Topic Events plugin
-
Catches events such as topic pinned/unpinned, locked/unlocked, and moved. Adds a small notification inline within the thread, with the moderator's picture, username, brief description of the event, and timestamp.
I originally was planning on building this into the new theme, but eventually decided I should just make it a plugin so that you could use it with vanilla or lavender. Requires NodeBB edge (or v0.5x, when it's released).
When I'm ready, I'll be building an API for this as well, so that other plugins can integrate with this too (ex. the Github issues plugin could place referred issues in-line instead of within the post)
Installation
npm install nodebb-plugin-eventsScreenshots

Holy... crap this is nice. I was waiting on something like this.
Can we do more creative events in the future?EDIT: Never mind, the API will take care of this like you said.
And implement it on this forum!

One problem here when posting in a topic with 0 posts in it. A user had deleted their post and it was the only post in a topic and this is the result.

@trevor Brings us back round to the debate on what happens if OP is deleted I guess.
Still think if there's no replies to that topic, delete the actual topic as well, not just first post.

13 years ago huh, not bad. I'll look into it on the plugin's end, but maybe @a_5mith has a point re: main post deletion.

Makes sense.

Nice, I'm really liking the timeline format of this.
-
Nice :o, it looks like Github ^^.
-
user referenced {topic} x minutes ago.

I didn't think about that. Cool idea. Wonder if I should make it part of this or part of a separate plugin (and then use that as a way to flesh out the API)... hmmmm

Can you show @psychobunny the expanded HTML in one of those blocks?
-
I think I know what's wrong. This needs to be translated: https://github.com/psychobunny/nodebb-plugin-events/tree/master/languages
If you don't mind, if you do make the translation please send a PR
I'm not sure if I should make an individual transifex project for this, maybe I'll just accept PR's for now

Tried installing this on 0.5.1, doesn't look like the events are showing up
Nothing to see in the console, sadly.
-
This'd still be really nice (as it removes the need for mods to clutter up the thread with "Moved to [x]" posts), but it seems completely abandoned
any chance it'll be updated for 0.6.x?

@Xiph
I just love to revive the dead: https://github.com/Linux-statt-Windows/nodebb-plugin-topic-events
I've changed the storing logics a bit, so every un/lock, un/pin, delete/restore and move event gets recorded; not only a single instance of each which gets overwritten by every new of the same type. action:topic.purge finally deletes all events.
Please always refer to the forked repo above, not my original one, since I'm still a git-noob and bound to mess up my own repo there, sooner or later.
This will break in 0.7.0 again, but I've already made out the differences. It'll be updated as soon as I got my head around require.js.
For now I'm working on an entry for the ThreadTools, so admins/moderators can hide the events (they still get recorded, just not shown). This will come in very handy for e.g. moderated FAQ topics, which are re-opened - updated - closed several times.
@psychobunny
Please have a closer look at https://github.com/Linux-statt-Windows/nodebb-plugin-events-topic/blob/master/threadTools.patch !
(I guess) I had to introduce new hooks in order to not break other plugins which expect the topicID on the callback, only. I'd love to see that merged into 0.7.0; would also be just consistent with the other action:topic-hooks, which already receive a data-object instead of only the tid.

Cool
I'm more than happy to transfer the repo over to you if you wish to maintain it. As far as the NodeBB core is concerned, just submit a PR and we can discuss it there
